DLee Gets Paid

Derrek Lee signed his well deserved extension today. 5 years $65M and a full no-trade clause effective this year so that means we have last year's NL batting champ locked up until 2010. I am not a huge fan of the no-trade clause because of the restrictions it puts on a team but Lee has been a class act who plays great defense and has hopefully his best years ahead of him. I am very glad that the Cubs locked him up.
